I've had a 204 for some years now and really like it. As others have said, it is lethal on foxes, with no recoil, and very flat shooting.
How popular is 20cal center fire in the UK?

Some are still here and can't bring themselves to Creedmoor!

Does anyone like a 22-250 still ? I have got a sako varmit and tbh I wouldn’t mind changing it for something what about a 22 creedmoor ?
Yup. Love mine. Stay with the tried and tested. A 22 creed wouldn't be of any real benefit to a 22250. I don't know if 22 creed is available from factory so you'd have to get one made so why not get a faster twist barrel on a 22250. Be a formidable tool that.
If I ever shoot my cz 527 out I will knock on your door again.
You have a great rifle in a great calibre, I wouldn't change it unless you really needed to.

When I bought my first center fire, 204 Ruger wasn't about. I bought a tikka 222 continental, But heavy. Progressive March to a second hand 222 sako vixen. I prefer the look of the sako, then bought a sako75 in 223. My mate told me about a second hand sako75 in 17remington. What a fox killer. By then 204ruger were firmly around the UK. So sold the 17rem and had the 204ruger for around 12 years now. Now managed to find a 20vartarg on stalking directory. So hopefully have an interesting winter 
coming up. Where I shoot hasn't really got massive open area's and usually there's houses not to far. The 20vartarg should be excellent for closer range and quieter.

Love my 204. Doesn’t get enough use due to work
I have had my .204 years. Go to rifle and a shame it's not deer legal in England and Wales.
My only wish would be if Lapua would make .204 brass.
I need to book mine into Dasherman for a rebarrel tighter twist so better for 39/40 bullets.
I think mine has done at least 2000 rounds probably more.

Getting a MK2 tomorrow. Can't wait to get out on foxes again.
My 1/10 twist 204 lothar walther barrel shoots all bullets very well. Including the 50grn bergers.
If you're going to have a Vartarg, try using mil spec .223 brass. The case heads are stupidly thick, and allows the 20VT to get insane performance. I had a buddy doing this, so know for a fact that the parent brass really does make a difference.
